Jon Hopkins

2001–presentUKElectronic

Somewhere between a warehouse rave and a meditation retreat lies the music of Jon Hopkins, crunching, slow-building techno that dissolves into shimmering piano and ambient calm.

A classically trained pianist, he worked alongside Brian Eno, including on Coldplay's Viva la Vida, and made the gentle folk-electronica of Diamond Mine with King Creosote. Immunity was his breakthrough, a Mercury Prize nominee packed with distorted, pulsing tracks such as 'Open Eye Signal', and Singularity pushed the same rise-and-release arc further.

Then he stepped off the dancefloor entirely. Music for Psychedelic Therapy, partly inspired by a trip to an Ecuadorian cave, was beatless and immersive, and Ritual stretched that sense of ceremony into one 41-minute journey.
